Things To Do in Markham

No matter what the season, Markham has activities and attractions that will get you out into the community, into nature, onto the playing field or into the arts.

Markham has 22 kilometres of pathways for walkers, joggers or cyclists to access the natural beauty of the Rouge River Valley and the many other natural areas in our city.

There are modern facilities for limitless recreational activities: among them, PGA-accredited golf courses, an indoor tennis court complex at Angus Glen Community Centre, a regulation-sized artificial turf soccer field under a dome, and the GTA’s largest artificial skating rink at Markham Civic Centre.
